Santa Clarita, CA —– Linear Motion – H2W introduces its latest custom XY voice coil positioning stage (VCS08-700-08/350-AB-01-MC-XY) which is guided by precision air bearings. This minimizes the amount of friction and reduces the pitch, yaw, and roll in the system. The stage is driven by three NCC series moving coil type linear actuators which are guided by parallel air bearing shafts. It is operated under closed loop position control. This system was designed specifically for an accelerometer testing application.

It includes a 1 micron resolution linear encoder on each linear motion axis and is ideal for high force low velocity ripple positioning applications. Each voice coil has a 0.80 in [20.3 mm] stroke; generate 35 lbs [159 N] of continuous force and 105 lbs [477 N] of peak force, or a combined 70 lbs [318 N] continuous force and 210 lbs [953 N] of peak force on the bottom axis. Voice coil positioning stages are ideal for applications that require quick, short moves with fast settling times.

H2W Technologies, Inc. is dedicated to the design and manufacture of linear motion and rotary motion products that are used in the motion control industry. The complete line of linear electric motors includes: Single and dual axis linear steppers, DC brush and brushless linear motors, voice coil actuators, and AC induction motors. Also offered is a complete line of ball screw, lead screw and belt driven positioning stages.

With over 75 years combined experience in the linear motion and rotary motion field, the H2W Technologies team of engineers offers the optimal solution to the most demanding motion control, requirements.
